I don't know for sure, but I suspect the person the driver was talking

Why would the offender have left skid marks? Was there evidence that
the offender even tried to stop?


Right, but the other car may have left skid marks in his proper lane
trying to stop. Or he tried to evade and left no skid marks.

The investigation will vary with the seriousness of the accident. Minor
ding an a bumper won't get much attention and you could easily turn off
the phone and toss it in the consul so it is not suspect. If it caused
a death, chances are they'd be checking records from the carrier to see
if a call was in progress.

This is the 21st century. Cars have ABS today, they don't leave skid marks.

Sorry, my truck doesn't have ABS. BTW, when was the accident?
